HOW TO INSTALL :

To install this custom rom, you need SPFlashTool program which only available on winblows os platform so … really sorry, I cannot support it because I never use and don’t have winblows. You may refer to this tutorial : MT65xx Flashing Tutorial it is very well explained by Bruno Martin and try to find Flashing only part of the ROM part on the article to flash only the recovery image part.
Please be really careful using SPFlashTool, especially when flashing ROM not for your device, since it may bricked your device forever.

KNOWN ISSUE :

This cwm recovery somehow display the page turned upside down, eventhough all the functionality runs well. CWM always renders in 16bpp then upconverts the 16 bit framebuffer at the very end steps unto 32 bit. That’s why the screen flipping and  there’s nothing much I can do since this is “naked” framebuffer. If any of you had any idea how to fix this, please let me know. have fun.
